Oh wait, you’re the pro pot guy. That’s probably why you’re so pissed about these road blocks. Getting a little nervous the drug sniffing dog they have at a lot of the checkpoints might smell your stash?

Sorry, I don’t smoke marijuana. So I don’t see how this is a problem. :gotme:
Actually I was advised to avoid RT #11 when my wife (then girlfriend) was coming home with me.
I have no problems with sobriety check points set up by State police, I have no problems with registration check points set up by local police. I have no problem answer a couple questions at international bridges.
I do have a problems with border patrol on a power trip conducting policing actions on local citizens. I have a problem with illegal phone taps. I have a problem with loosely written laws that leave way too much to intreptation.

Right, U.S. border patrol cares about what leaves this country :roll: So are you proposing that we have to check in with U.S. border control when we exit and enter the U.S. , I’m sure Gee Dubbya would love that brillant idea. We would have the perfect excuse to double homeland security’s budget.
The point of the matter is I am a U.S. Citizen leave me the fuck alone. I gave 6 years of my life defending the freedoms of this country only to loose them to the government.

Well, I'm trying to figure out how he is so upset about a road block "wasting his tax dollars" because it's in a position where they might actually catch smugglers, but he seems to be fine with one that's set up right near the border, where people have just gone through customs.

It’s not the roadblocks, that is only one small example. Maybe because there are better things we could have spent 500 Billion + dollars on the past 6 years.

And partly, it’s in response to his “But :tup: to you by profiting off of illegal activity.” like he’s never done anything questionable in his life.

No, but I’m not a hypocrite about it.
